Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak
or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note
the following important precautions to avoid problems with
batteries.
Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use
it for more than two weeks.
Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection
between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batter-
ies apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them
by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
Never mix batteries of different types.
Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type
lithium or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) dry cell
batteries with this camera. Never mix old bat-
teries with new ones. Doing so can result in
bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the
danger of fire or personal injury.
Always make sure that the positive (+) and
negative (–) ends of the batteries are facing
correctly, as noted by the markings on the
camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can
result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-
ing the danger of personal injury or soiling of
objects nearby.
